Atlanta had its first winter weather scare last night and as usual everybody starts panicking and running to the store to buy milk and bread and a number of other things in order to survive for a few days in case they lose their power. Around three o'clock this morning there were reports that most grocery stores were running very low on milk and bread or out completely. Why is it always milk and bread? I can see the why one would buy bread, but what is the deal with milk? Do they have a milk deficiency or something? As for the bread do they buy something to put in it or eat it by its self? I have never really asked anyone about it but have always wondered.
When I am 100% sure the weather is going to turn bad and the potential is there for power outages milk is the last thing on my mind. I prefer beer and tea as my beverages and a good pot of gumbo or hearty soup with crackers. lots of snacks and toilet paper. Got to have toilet paper. That takes care of the food and bathroom supply's. The only other concern is how to stay warm.
Blankets and the wife will take care of that. :-)

Milk and bread... you make an interesting observation. I would have lots canned black beans and tortillas to along with the other food items you describe. I would also have kegs of beers; heck you'll never know.

Another dish I am hooked on is Chorizo and rice. talk about artery clogging goodness. I think it is a Cuban dish but man oh man is it good. I will send you the recipe if you like.
Kegs of beer? Yea, thats the ticket.
